EFFECTS OF PROCESS PARAMETERS ON TENSILE STRENGTH OF BANANA FIBER REINFORCED THERMOSETTING POLYMER COMPOSITES
Synthetic fibers (such as glass, carbon, ceramic fibers, etc) which were imported at huge cost could be replaced by natural fibers such as flax, hemp, jute, kenaf, etc. and widely used. In this research work, banana fiber reinforced vinylester matrix composites have been developed by hand layup molding technique wit…
